Spencer Tracy heads a hilariously zany cast that stars Hollywood's greatest comedians (Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas and Jonathan Winters) and features cameo appearances by every joker and jester in the business from DonKnotts and Jerry Lewis to The Three Stooges. Nominated* for 6 OscarsÂ(r), It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is "an explosive motion picture experience" (Variety)! On a winding desert highway, eight vacation-bound motorists share an experience that alters their plansand their lives! After a mysterious stranger divulges the location of a stolen fortune, they each speed off in a mind-bending, car-bashing race for the loot and the most side-splitting laughfest in history.

Summary: brutal
Comment: if you love yelling and screaming for 3 hours,this is the movie for you.for everyone else who has a brain,stay FAR away. it really is shocking what a big stiff this movie really is. and i thought Airport was the first disaster movie !
Customer Rating:
Summary: 5 Stars for the final 2 minutes...
Comment: I enjoyed this movie as a kid, but watched it recently and found it to be bloated and dated and not all that funny. However, the final two minutes are one of the most profoundly spiritual moments in the history of cinema.
The lesson learned by Spencer Tracy's character, that life is inherently absurd and laughter is the best medicine for melancholy, is one that we can all benefit from. When sadness strikes, I watch the final two minutes several times in a row, and experience a healing catharsis.
This all sounds a little pompous and pretentious (even to me), but it is true nevertheless.

Summary: funny
Comment: Very funny. It was as entertaining as it was many years ago when we saw it at the movies. Good quality picture.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Funny
Comment: I remember seeing this movie when it first came out at the movie Theater
Purchasing this DVD reminded me just how funny this movie really is. This movie was made in 1963 and over the years there have been few movies with the same theme but none of them and I mean none of them have come close to the quality of this movie. Like the old Hitchcock Classics this is truly one of Stanley Kramer's best Comedy Classics. So if you're feeling depressed or you just need a good laugh I reccomend this movie. A little slapstickish but truly a very, very well made funny,funny movie. If you like comedy you won't be disappointed.

Summary: It's a Good, Good, Good, Good, Movie!!!!!!!
Comment: Great, cazy awesome, and narly. A comidy thats not meant to be moving, just plain old funny and to keep you on your toes at all times. Some of the jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, some are so bad they make you laugh anyway. Remember to watch for the dieing man to "kick the bucket."
